Welcome to the Jerome J. Lohr College of Engineering Research page! Navigate these subpages to learn more about the scholarly activity of Engineering faculty, including their research projects, publications, and awards. College of Engineering faculty conduct research that contributes to our understanding of the physical principles of matter and energy in an effort to improve the quality of life. Research in this college ranges from our basic need for clean water, to satellite image calibration and analysis that enable the study of global change factors that influence our water supply: from structures on the nano-scale that convert sunlight to electricity, to structures on the macro-scale that allow us to build safe bridges. This college also has opportunities for undergraduates, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers.

For visitors, these tabs can lead you to the resources available at SDSU and the most recent JJL College of Engineering Research Review publications, which include more detailed information about specific researchers and projects. For faculty, this section includes proposal development tips and external funding information.
